How can I determine if the host is ESXi free or licensed?

How can one know if an ESXi host is ESXi free, or if it is allowed?

I searched through the crowd on a couple of different configurations and I don't see anything obvious that indicates this.  I ask because there are some features that only work on ESXi under license and would like to be able to detect the server type I'm talking about.

I guess that there is a way to do so under the ha - Manager of licenses.

Thank you

Eric

The method that I use to check for this in my scripts is to use the licenseManager watch ownership licenses and see if the license is equivalent to "esxBasic", the host is ESXi, if both these things are true, then you are using the free version of ESXi. In my view, there is another method in which the free version does not contain the full name of some kind, but I forgot what it was. If the above solution worked for me for some time and is simple to check

  • How can I determine reliably the pixel width and height of the screen?

    Hi all.

    The JavaDoc for Display.getHeight () and Display.getWidth () States that:

    Retrieves the total drawing height of the display.
    
    Retrieves the total drawing width of the display.
    

    respectively.

    What that means, is that if the software keyboard (for example a 9860) is opened, the value returned by getHeight() will be different from the value returned when the keyboard is NOT open.

    SO, how can I reliably get the width/height in full real pixels of a screen?

    You coulld get just once at boot - time before your application has opened a form with an input field.  Sharing this trick.

  • How can you determine what the user watch calendar view (month, week, day, list) the calendar of CSS (5.0)

    We run Apex 5.0.1.00.06 and I would like to add a region to a page, if the user displays the LIST of the CSS calendar view. I can't understand how to determine which view the user displays currently. Is it possible to determine to create a condition to show another region in they are on a particular view?

    This can be achieved using some dynamic measurements, to hide the region if the calendar is the display month view when loading the page and to show/hide the region when you click the list/month selector.

    Add a static region ID to region calendar for use in jQuery selectors.

    Name: See the region list - load

    Event: Loading the page

    Condition: Expression of JavaScript

    Value:$('#static-region-id .fc-month-view').length > 0

    Real Action

    Action: Hide

    Selection type: Region

    Region:

    Nom : See the region list - click

    Event: Click

    Selection type: jQuery Selector

    jQuery Selector:.fc-button-group button

    Condition: Expression of JavaScript

    Value:$(this.triggeringElement).hasClass('fc-list-button')

  • How can I determine if the current date is between two dates?

    I'm trying to post a link when grave the current date between two dates. I have setup the startdate and the enddate. When he falls between the startdate one date enddate, the link will be apear. The startdate and enddate have already been formatted previously, as mm/dd/yyyyy. I tried to use the following script, nothing will do. What I am doing wrong?

    < cfif startDate GTE #dateformat (now (), "MM/DD/YYYY") # AND enddate LTE #dateformat (now (), ' MM/DD/YYYY') # >

    Don't know what you're talking about. I used the #dateformat(date_entered, 'mm/dd/yyyy') # for years without problem. I googled the datediff function before posting here and what I've found is datediff determines the whole number of units by which date1 is less than date2. I don't know how this can help me.

  • Error-50352 DAQmx: How can I determine the maximum size of the buffer?

    I use a card PCI-6259 with DAQmx (version 9.0.2) library and I get the error "-50352: memory cannot be allocated" whenever I try to make my record too long. Here are a few terms that I found:

    1 channel of AI, 1Msample/s: 7.71 sec max

    1 channel AO, 1Msample/s: 7.71 sec max

    1 channel of AI, 500ksample/s: 15,4 sec max

    2 channels of AI, 500ksample/s: 7.71 sec max

    1 HAVE, AO, 1Msample/s 1-channel: 5.6 sec max

    IF I can't acquire more 7.71 Msamples in a single task, be it in most cases, or AO. When you mix tasks HAVE and AO, this limit seems to be decreasing. This happens with a freshly started application, so I don't think that it is a question of compensation task.

    What is a physical boundary with the device? (And if so, how can I determine this limit?)

    My impression is that the device uses DMA to transfer samples to the system memory, which there are plenty - I can easily allocate more than 400 MB of contiguous memory in the same application.

    Hi Luke,.

    The amount of RAM your system installed?

    What operating system do you use? If it is a 32-bit operating system, using 3 GB or increaseuserva? These parameters have a compromise: they reduce the size of the kernel virtual address space. This increases the probability of DAQmx will succeed to allocate memory but do not reach the mapping in the kernel virtual address space.

    Your system has all the devices with very large memory mapped I/O beaches, such as a video card with a large amount of memory on-board? On a 32-bit operating system, this can reduce the size of the virtual address space of the nucleus by a significant amount.

  • I disabled MS Security Essentials that I use another antivirus - but I like to keep the firewall. How can I determine if it is effective?

    * Original title: Microsoft Firewall

    I read that Windows has a built-in firewall. I disabled MS Security Essentials that I use another antivirus - but I like to keep the firewall. How can I determine if it is effective? If this is not the case, how can I activate it?

    (Moved to programs)

    You cannot run the Windows Firewall and any other 3rd party firewall at the same time. By default, most if not all AV software (competent) devs teams to automatically disable the Windows Firewall when their own is installed to avoid unnecessary conflicts that would occur if both have been enabled at the same time.

    If you want to have the Windows Firewall, you will need to uninstall your antivirus (if it comes with a firewall) 3rd party. If this isn't the case, then you can keep the Windows Firewall is turned on, because it's good.

  • How can I determine that trusted root certificates in the Certification authorities are all valid

    I was looking in the Lenovo Superfish Adware (I have her, much less a Lenovo) and I read an article in PC world who said Superfish installs a root certificate self-produced in the Windows certificate store for trusted root Certification authorities, and then quit all SSL certificates, presented by the HTTPS sites with its own certificate :

  • How can I determine the RAM bus speed?

    Hello

    I installed the new 4 GB RAM replacing the previously installed 3 GB of RAM. The previous 3 GB of RAM has the 667 MHz bus speed (I found it in the user manual). The new 4 GB of RAM, the seller told me that has the 800 MHz bus speed. Now, I want to be sure that the seller does not deceive me, and he gave me the speed of 800 MHz RAM bus. How can I determine my installed RAM bus speed? My system configuration is the following:

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    2.1 GHz Core2Duo

    4 GB OF DDR2 RAM

    Intel GMA 4500MHD

    Model: Acer Aspire 5738

    I have two modules of DDR2 soDIMM, previously, I had a 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz + a 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM = 3 GB DDR2 667 MHz RAM (in my manual of the system provided by Acer)

    Now, after replacing, I have two 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM = 4GBD DDR2 800 MHz RAM (as the salesman told me and I saw written in the package when he was unpacking and installation)

    How can I determine my RAM bus speed and be confirm that I really learned the 800 MHz? Please someone help me with this. Thank you.

    Four ways I see real quick:
    1 - the label on the RAM (assuming that it is there, and this truct you he has not changed it).
    2 - install the CPU-Z.  It will be listed in the memory tab.
    3 - install Belarc Advisor.  It also lists only (as well as much more information on the system.)
    4 take a look at the POSITION of the screen when the system boots - he must view RAM info.

    All the foregoing, guess however that isn't only MHz 800 RAM installed, but that the system is actuallyrunning at 800 MHz.
    Here, CPU - Z is the best choice, because it will give you the actual manufacturer for RAM; You can use it to find the specifications of the manufacturer.

    HTH,
    Chris
